Olympia Fall Arts Walk A Show for Me

09.03.2017 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

Twice a year Olympia’s businesses and arts come together for a weekend celebration. My work will be exhibited at the Thurston First Bank 600 Franklin St. I am thrilled to finally see my images in this great Olympia event.

So what to show? There are a few options.

Dance and Theater

Detail, Abstract, Realism

Layered Life

The City as a Muse

So many portfolio’s from “A Life in Photographic Art.”

What would you show, want to see? The images will be silver gelatin prints. Traditional B+W prints my medium of choice. Maybe an assortment will be best. Come by Friday October 7th 5:00-10:00 and Saturday the 8th noon to 5pm. The images will be for sale as well as copies of my two books.

Old and New, The Next Image

So a half an hour ago I started, this post I wrote a paragraph on repetition in the darkroom a must for control of technique. Notes on printing so I can walk into lab years later and quickly match a print. But repetition, technique in the Piss me off Pixel Age is difficult as Upgrades, Changes, Distractions and the constant need to babysit this inhuman box. Too much brain power diverted from creativity to keeping up with marketing the homogenization of thought. Be an individual just do it with the latest AI. [FU AI.] like everyone else. WP deleted my words and added 6 images I uploaded to the Lib. appeared in post. I must have missed the latest new and improved version.

The next image, always the next image here in 2013 or

here 2016 an old perhaps ’50s truck up the street from me. The string that ties the journey, the images, is seeing beyond the stylized bright color. Tri X the tie that binds.
